Veterans Urged to
Invest in U. S. Bonds
Texas veterans will be asked to
“salt away’’ part of their national
service life insurance dividends in
l’. S. Savings Bonds, Nathan Adams
of Dallas, state Savings Bonds chair-
man, announced today.
Mr. Adams said that principal vet-
erans organizations of the state will
work movement by miners tomorrow, participate in the campaign, begin-
ning Monday (Jan. 16), to urge ex-
service men and women to use their
dividend money as nest-eggs for
the future. This is the date on which
the Veterans Administration has an-
nounced that it will begin mailing
dividend checks. A total of $2.8 bil-
lion will be distributed in the next six
months, with about $150,000,000 go-
ing to the 700,000 veterans in Texas.
In letters to 1500 posts throughout
Texas, they have asked Mocal com-
manders to initiate activities within
their own communities and to dis-
trbute Savings Bonds literature to
all veterans, as well as members.
Mr. Adams said that similar cam-
paigns are being held in all of the

Nearly one-fourth of John L. Lewis’
United Mine workers who dig soft
coal have been on an unauthorized
strike for three weeks, and most of
them indicated they in‘.“nded to con-
tinue tomorrow.
She top adviser to Mr. Truman, who
specified that he could not be quoted
by name, said the chief exeeptive will
take some action shortly—possibly
tomorrow—unless there is a back-to-
work movement.
He told a reporter the decision
will be asked on the extent to which
striking soft coal miners abandon
their walkout.
The spokesman said the “crucial
time” has about arrived for Presi-
dential intervention. Mr. Truman has
repeatedly told news conferences that
he will make the decision on whether
there is a national emergency.
Most recently, Mr. Truman de-
clined comment at his news confer-
ence on Friday when he was i.sked
whether he was about to take some
action.
Northern and Western operators
offered last week to resume contract
talks with Lewis, and the UMW
chieftain promptly accepted. Negotia-
tions are scheduled to start on Wed-
nesday.

states, with cooperation from na-
tional commanders of veterans or-
ganizations. He said that dividend
checks will bear the campaign’s slo-
gan “Uae It Wisely—Buy U. S. Sav-
ings Bonds” on the endorsement side.
“It is not the purpose of this cam-
paign to tell the veteran how to use
his dividend money,” Mr. Adams said.
“It is our purpose, however, to re-
mind him that his NSLI dividend
gives him an opportunity to begin,
or add to, a sound savings plan to
provide future financial security for
himself and his family."
Bill Brock with the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Co. of San Antonio

J. M. McLean Wednesday of this

TWO-WAY STRETCH
that's strictly inside stuff!
HERE’S THE NEW 1950 BUICK SUPER 126, companion body-typo to tho
equally now Roadmaster 130. Both are shorter than last year’* 4-door
Sedans —yot 4 inches longer in wheelbase, in both, the difference is used
to give you real stretch-out room in tho roar seat.
Wh,
^hat the boys did here really
calls for some medals.
We gave them the job of coming up
with something that was bigger
inside—for room and comfort—
longer in wheelbase —always im-
portant to good riding qualities—
yet unbulky and easy-handling in
over-all dimensions.
Just look how well this tidy num-
ber meets these "impossible” speci-
fications!
Item one—rear-seat cushions are
a full foot wider than last year’s
Supers and Roadmasters.
Item two—in every dimension—
leg-room, head-room, hip-room,
shoulder-room—this rear-seat com-
partment is bigger than previous
models—and nearly four inches
longer, fore and aft, than other
1950 buick interiors.
Item three — wheelbases are the
longest of our 1950 line. On the
SUPER, it is 1254” instead of
1211 on the ROADMASTER 1304”
instead of 1264”.
Yet — and here’s where the magic J
comes in — the whole car is shorter *
over-all. Actually less from bumper
to bumper than previous Buicks
in these series.
That means easier parking, easier
tucking away in family garages,
easier maneuvering in crowded
traffic.
There are some other things too.
An extra rear-quarter window not
found in standard 4-door Sedans. A
different upperstructure styling that
makes this body-type stand out as
something pretty special.
*
Even special names that let you
say, "1 drive a SUPER 126” or
"Mine’s a ROADMASTER 130,”
just by way of being different.
Yes, we think we hit on a happy
idea^ in the "Longfellows,” as
they’re coming to be known. They
are not longer, on the outside, but
there’s a two-way stretch—in width
and length—in the rear compart-
ment.
You’re going to like that—as you’ll
see by calling on your own Buick

dealer. If he doesn’t have one on
hand, he can get it pretty promptly
—and at a price and on a deal you’ll
